Orlando Tech Community,
Come out and join us as we kick-off the "Smartest City Challenge" to support the City of Orlando's Smart City initiative. This will be the formal announcement from OTAB and the City of Orlando for the Aug. 26th - 27th hackathon being held at UCF. We encourage you to join us and to push the boundaries of creativity, innovation, reality, and tech to build solutions and concepts that have the potential to make a difference in our community and in the city of Orlando. Our goal is to provide support to the city of Orlando in its efforts in becoming a Smart City and also showing our capabilities as a community in becoming “The Smartest City”.
To start off the evening we will have a presentation from Chris Castro, Director of Sustainability and Co-chair of Smart Cities for the City of Orlando. We will then proceed with an overview of The Smartest City Challenge and our overall goal as a community. Our mentors will also be introduced as well as our supporting partners. Food and drinks will be provided for those in attendance and we encourage the tech community and those interested in the future of our city and businesses to join this conversation.

Launch Orlando: Momentum!
21 Jul - 05:30 PM
Orlando, United States
Orlando Tech is excited to announce Launch Orlando Momentum. Organized by Orlando Tech Association in conjunction with the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce, Launch Orlando Momentum is a weekend of civic problem solving, bringing together creative thinkers from Orlando's non-profit, business, and tech communities. We call it "civic hacking" but not a "hackathon" because technology is only part of the solutions we'll bring to this purposeful community engagement. Hosted at Credo Conduit, participants from Orlando's tech and business communities will gather with community organizations dedicated to making our city one we are all proud to call home.
We asked independent community organizations doing well by doing good every day in the City Beautiful to identify a real and immediate need they face and submit it to us as a challenge. We asked them to think big, and to be prepared to describe the desired outcome as produced by a well-crafted solution that requires technical expertise they don’t have on staff.
We invite YOU - developers, designers, marketers, instructional designers, HR directors, accountants, sales wizards, customer service mavens, and other professional movers, shakers, doers. Whatever your specialty and experience, we welcome your unique perspectives as creative thinkers to ensure the best results as we address the challenges introduced by our participating community organizations on Friday evening.
Through the weekend we'll develop customized solutions to the presented challenges. We'll define viable use cases that our teams of diverse experience – organizational domain expertise, applied business and technology savvy - will prototype and test by Sunday evening when our teams present their results to the judges. Come discover your creative power for building community good. Join us for this rewarding weekend of collective engagement toward a more collaborative, more inclusive, more connected Orlando.
